The Diablo Snap-Lock Plus 2-11/16 in. Carbide Tipped Hole Saw is built for professional results where precision, speed, and durability matter most. With a 2-11/16" cutting diameter and a compact 2-3/8" overall length, it powers through tough materials while delivering clean, true holes every time. This is the tool you reach for when standard hole saws struggle with dense or abrasive workpieces.
-
Carbide-tipped for long-lasting performance — the durable carbide teeth stay sharper longer, cutting efficiently through ceramic tile, porcelain, masonry, hard plastics, and other hard materials where conventional steel teeth dull quickly.
-
Snap-Lock Plus quick-change compatibility — engineered for fast bit changes and reliable seating, so you spend less time swapping bits and more time on the job. This hole saw is designed to pair with Snap Lock Plus mandrels for stable, accurate cuts.
-
Versatile arbor compatibility — compatible with DHSAR375 (3/8 in. Snap Lock Plus mandrel), DHSAR500 (7/16 in. Snap Lock Plus mandrel), and DHSARSDS (SDS Snap Lock Plus mandrel) systems, giving you flexible mounting options across common tool setups.
-
Precise, robust dimensions — 2-11/16 in. cutting diameter, 2-3/8 in. overall length, and a 3/8 in. shank diameter ensure a strong fit and reliable performance in a range of drill presses and handheld drills.
-
One-piece carbide-tipped design — optimized geometry and bonded carbide tips provide consistent hole quality, minimizing breakout and chipping in hard materials.
Ideal for electricians, tile installers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts who encounter doorlites, plumbing pass-throughs, or vent openings in demanding materials, this hole saw delivers a confident bite and clean edges. Note: an arbor is not included; use a compatible Snap Lock Plus mandrel (DHSAR375, DHSAR500, or DHSARSDS) for secure mounting and quick-change operation.
Practical tips for best results:
- Use a center punch to mark the hole center and prevent wandering on hard materials.
- Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and let the carbide tips do the cutting work—don't force the tool aggressively through dense material.
- Keep the workpiece properly clamped and consider cutting at a slower drill speed to reduce heat buildup and improve cut quality.
- Lubricate when cutting metals or dense plastics to extend blade life and reduce built-up heat.
With its rugged carbide-tipped construction, quick-change capability, and compatible Snap Lock Plus mandrels, the Diablo Snap-Lock Plus 2-11/16 in. Hole Saw is a purpose-built choice for reliable, professional-grade hole cutting in demanding materials.
